Maggi goreng, also known as Maggi mee goreng, is a Mamak-style mee goreng variant. Instead of fresh yellow noodles, it uses Maggi instant noodles that are cooked in hot water before being stir-fried. The tomato sauce is responsible for the bright red hue.
Most stalls that have Maggi Goreng will also sell Mee Goreng! It is basically cooked the same way as Maggi Goreng, thus having the same vibrant red color as well.

6) Haji Kadir
Ordered the Seafood Maggi goreng from Haji Kadir @hajikadirfoods. This comes drenched in a spicy yet sweet sauce with seafood such as squid, fishcakes, and prawns tossed inside. Probably a combination of ketchup and chili. Quite shiok but a bit too spicy for me. Ordered this because I wanna try something different. They also have another outlet in Tampines. They're known for their Sup Tulang Merah ($8 for four or more bones), which is a thick mutton bone stew served with baguette slices for you to dip into the stew.

I'm sure you're all aware of my love for noodles, and mee goreng is one of them. This is certainly not as red as the others I've had, and it shows in the flavor as well. Overall, the flavor is not as flavorful as the others I've tasted. The fried egg was also not as runny as it should have been. Inside were green beans, mutton chunks, and potatoes.

I ordered the mee goreng with a fried egg. The serving is substantial. It is really a carb overload with the portion, but I really enjoyed this and it was really tasty. It is good that the egg yolk was still runny. It was also not very spicy, even though I spotted green chili in this. Despite the portion, this had very little potatoes or mutton in it. If you’re in the vicinity and want a good plate of mee goreng, give this a try.
They are also famous for their nasi goreng and soup tulang! I would probably try these next time.
11) Julaiha Muslim Restaurant
Julaiha Muslim Restaurant is an Indian-Muslim eatery located along Macpherson road. They are open 24/7 so this makes a good supper spot to go if you're nearby! They are located somewhat in the middle of Tai Seng and Macpherson MRT station.
Address: 538 MacPherson Rd, Singapore 368222
Opening Hours: 24/7 daily
If you're craving a plate of sinful mee goreng! Like every other mee goreng, this one was coated in this savory red sauce. This was fried along with eggs, veggies, and potatoes. Extra points for a runny egg! This was cooked perfectly and was not very dry, but it could have used more wok hei and a little more spice.
12) Suka Ramai Mama Power
Having the Mee goreng here at Suka Ramai Mama Power. I was intrigued when they claimed that they have the best mee goreng in Singapore on their Facebook. This kind of mee goreng combo is kind of similar to Adam's delight. The nearest MRT station is at Telok Blangah mrt station.
Address: Bedok Food Centre, 1 Bedok Rd, #01-26, Singapore 469572
Opening Hours: 8am - 10pm
The portion of mutton is really little but the bite-sized mutton was tender and nice. The mee goreng was also very small in portion, though I could taste slight bitterness probably due to wok hei. The sunny side up was so perfect though. Their shoestring fries are drenched in a substantial cheese sauce. I wouldn't say they are the best, but definitely above average.
13) Kassim Stall
I have been actively looking for nice mee goreng to try and that was where I bought Kassim Stall from Telok Blangah. They had 4.9 stars with 11 reviews on google. This stall has been around for more than 25 years. Nearest MRT station at Telok Blangah MRT Station.
Address: Telok Blangah Food Centre, 79 Telok Blangah Drive #01-26
Opening Hours: 11.30am - 9.30pm daily
The mee goreng was fried until flavorful and had a wok hei flavor, with soft but not mushy mutton and potato pieces tossed in. The mutton bits are soft but do not taste gamey. I also added a sunny side up. It comes served with the usual cucumber slices and ketchup on a separate plate.
14) N.M. Abdul Rahim
N.M. Abdul Rahim is located at Ayer Rajah Food Centre along West Coast Drive. My first impression is that this could be spicy from how red this is but I could taste some smokiness, savouriness from the mutton curry, and also the original taste of the noodles.
Address: Ayer Rajah Food Centre, 503 W Coast Dr, #01-60, Singapore 120503
Opening Hours: 10.30 am - 12 am
Surprised by what's going on here, the taste was not overpowered. The plate of mee goreng contains green peas, a few chunks of potatoes, eggs, and slices of cucumber on the side. I am not sure why to add green peas. I quite like this! v nice!
15) Khan Saab Restaurant
Finally went to Khan Saab Restaurant at the secluded corner of Chai Chee Drive! They are a 24/7 Indian food eatery which is great for people looking for supper options! TBH, it was a long walk from Kembangan MRT station, so it is probably nearer if you come from Bedok North MRT Station.
Address: 55 Chai Chee Dr, Singapore 460055
Opening Hours: 24/7 daily
The mee goreng had a mild wok hei and was pretty savory and flavorful interlaced with a slight spicy kick which was pretty good considering some are just one-dimensionally sweet. The Prata was not bad too and was soft, fluffy, and wasn't overly charred.
16) HASSBAWA MEE GORENG
I ate Hassbawa's mee goreng, which was said to be legendary at Marine Parade. They've been in Marine Parade since 1978. Mine came with an egg. To be honest, this wasn't particularly impressive. The wok hei was barely discernible, and their sauce lacked flavor. The noodles were usually wok-fried, so wok hei was usually present, at least in some of the mee goreng I tried. The green chili, on the other hand, provided a spicy kick.
They were listed in the straits times and misstamchiak, so I was a little disappointed. In 2014, they also won the Singapore Hawker Masters for Indian mee goreng. Their standards have most likely deteriorated.
Address: Marine Parade Central Market and Food Centre
84 Marine Parade Central, #01-39, Singapore 440084
Opening Hours: 11.45am to 9.30pm daily
Closed on Thursdays

The chicken boasted a crispy exterior while remaining succulent and tender on the inside.

Experience the rich history and enduring popularity of Zam Zam Restaurant, a culinary icon established in 1908. Having previously savored their Maggi Goreng, I decided to venture into their Nasi Goreng with chicken. This Indian-style rendition of fried rice presented itself with vibrant red hues, thanks to the incorporation of aromatic spices. As I indulged in each spoonful, the rice exhibited a satisfying smoky flavor, adding depth to the dish. Tender chunks of chicken were expertly stir-fried into the rice, lending their distinct taste to the ensemble. While the overall experience was commendable, it is worth noting that the chicken had a slightly salty disposition.

I opted for the seafood Nasi Goreng, which was accompanied by a side of green chili. The fried rice contained prawns, squid, and fishcake, along with prawn crackers, achar, and a sunny-side-up egg on top. The portion of fried rice was ample, and it possessed an enticing aroma and rich taste. The green chili provided on the side was described as mildly spicy by the staff, but I found it to be extremely spicy for my palate.

During my visit, I couldn't resist trying their enticing Nasi Goreng. This mouthwatering creation featured a delightful combination of keropok, crispy, and succulent chicken wings, and a perfectly cooked sunny-side-up egg adorned with crispy fried shallots.
One standout element was the irresistibly crispy and juicy chicken wings, providing a delightful contrast of textures. The rice itself boasted a flavorful profile, though it may have had a slightly higher oil content.

23) Farasha Muslim Food
Farasha Muslim Food is one of the popular stalls at Seah Im Food Centre. They're famous for their Nasi Goreng Ayam. In comparison to what we typically eat, the Malay-style fried rice had a spicy edge to it. The fried rice was aromatic, flavorful, and delicious as it was cooked with sambal. I like how this wasn't just one-dimensional spicy. I could taste the real flavor of the fried rice. The rice was well-fried and not clumped together, having a lovely chewy-tender texture. It absorbs the flavor yet does not get mushy.
This was accompanied by a massive drumstick. The drumstick had a lovely crispy-crunchy exterior and fork-tender flesh, but it was bland to me. The meat was quite tasteless, but it would have been fine with the sambal on the side.
Address: 2 Seah Im Rd, #01-31, Singapore 099114

24) Kampong Glam Cafe

The Nasi pattaya with chicken is the bomb and the taste is absolutely awesome. It's basically a fried rice omelet wrapped around juicy chunks of chicken. Yum! The fried rice got this amazing savory and slightly salty flavor. The rice is a bit softer but golden brown from being fried up with chicken, and then there's that oh-so-delicious umami flavor from the soy sauce.
